Mark, Jeffrey, all @ Forté,

I just want to let you know that your decision to delay Agent 1.91
until it works properly is highly appreciated from my side.

There is absolutely no reason to hurry - and delivering a buggy
version would be fatal.

Some yEnc implementors did not work properly and made their beta tests
in public - by the users. This causes trouble and confusion until
today. And I am very sorry for this. The first yEnc draft was never
meant to be the base of a fundamental change to Usenet (this was a
discussion proposal). And all I can do today is to apologize for the
mess I did create with it.

Blame whatever/whenever necessary everything on me and the wierd
circumstances of the introduction of yEnc.

But you are doing a _great_ job - together with all your beta testers!

Feel free to publish this - or stick it to your pinboard.
